Chillida Leku

A 27-acre outdoor museum filled with late abstract sculptor Eduardo Chillida’s work is once again welcoming walk-ins. Chillida Leku’s Basque farmhouse and art-filled fields were established as a sculpture park in 2000 by Chillida and his wife. Financial difficulties led to a partial closure a decade later, but the site formally reopened in April. Now art aficionados can wander the grounds to witness the more than 40 pieces on display. Featuring the sculptor’s greatest works, Chillida Leku also has archival materials—public for the first time. “The museum itself is, without a doubt, my favorite piece,” says Luis Chillida, one of the artist’s sons. “It embodies his way of being and the way he worked.” —Rachel E.
